I don't know the history(or at least don't remember) about you/your folks/their car buying habits, but congrats.

Hopefully this is a problem-free car for you and you get to enjoy for awhile.

Big Beemer fan myself.

The M62 540's were nowhere near as reliable as the 530/528's, and the 540's also get high teens to low 20's as far as MPG goes.

My mom's BF has a 02 530iA that has 230k on it and he has had no issues with it beside normal wear items. The car looks brand new.

Agreed about the inline 6 being more reliable, somehow I opted for the is300 instead, I almost bought an M5 but figured those are plagued with problems. This website says 24mpg HWY.
